It is nice to be able to explore Dantooine and enjoy the scenery with the reduced chance of running into mobs. However, ‘Peacetime’ Dantooine leaves little else to be desired. You can either sit around for hours at a time waiting for food or mission items to respawn or spend 5 minutes doing lacklustre dailies. So let’s take a look at what there is to do. Dailies There are a couple of dailies you can do (different for each faction). However, there are no meaningful rewards for doing them. And, much like Rishi (ahem), there is no weekly to go …

Here is my Pirate Incursion Event Guide. This a reoccurring event, located on Dantooine consists of doing dailies and weeklies to earn Reputation and Rewards. All characters level 20+ can participate in this Event! To participate in the Event, just travel straight to Dantooine and pick up the Dailies in your respective factions base or interact with the Terminal on the Fleet. Interacting with the Terminal on Fleet grants you a one-off Mission with some minor story to it (but only if you’ve completed the Ossus Story!). Missions and Rewards Imperial Dailies Republic Dailies Heroics Missions and Rewards There are …

If you’re the exploring type on Dantooine, there’s a strange little datapad you can find that’ll start you off on a Treasure Hunt! There are five notes to be found and they must be found in the sequential order. What happens at the end? You’ll have to read on (or scroll down) and see for yourself! Note: This can only be completed when the Pirate Incursion Event is active. D. Suffy’s Note Part 1 The first datapad, D. Suffy’s Note, the one that starts you off on the hunt, can be found by a small blba tree north of the …

The bread and butter of Star Wars The Old Republic’s new Expansion, ‘Onslaught’, coming in September 2019, is a fully revamped Gearing System. In a Community Livestream on Thursday (30th May), Eric Musco, Community Manager, Charles Boyd, Creative Director with special guest Keith Kanneg, Game Producer introduced the new, inclusive gearing system dubbed ‘Spoils of War’.

The easiest way to break down this new system is to break it up into two sections. The gear …

Go on a Treasure Hunt Arrrrrrr maties! If ye find all the clues, some treasurrrrrre therrrrrrrre may be! But be wary, you may need a spyglass (or both your eyes intact, natural or cybernetic) to …

Now here’s a story about how my character got a ‘golden glow’ in Star Wars The Old Republic. Shiny, right? It all started when I went to check out the Reputation Vendor on Dantooine after the 5.10.3 PTS was patched. Among an assortment of new additions to the vendor, I found this curious item, ‘Yarvok’s Gratitude’, which gave little away as to its purpose (or so I thought). Not being able to find the achievement, to get the item, listed among the other Dantooine Achievements (it’s hardly the only hidden achievement on Dantooine), I proceeded to test the dailies…Again… Then …
